Chapter 27 Battling for Affection

Nuan Nuan, though small and slow to eat, couldn't resist the dual feeding from Ye Jing Huai and Ye Jing Zhi.

"Daddy, my tummy is so round~" Nuan Nuan patted her belly and said to Ye Jing Huai.

"Little Nuan Nuan is full? Uncle will carry you out to play, okay?" Ye Jing Zhi immediately leaned in, hoping to get some alone time with Nuan Nuan.

"Uncle, are you full?" Nuan Nuan looked at Ye Jing Zhi, who had been solely focused on picking up food for her, with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I'm full. Uncle eats fast. Come, Uncle will take you out to play. Second Brother, you eat first. I'll take Nuan Nuan out for a bit." With that, he directly reached out and lifted the little dumpling from her high chair.

The moment he held her, he felt how incredibly soft she was, and she carried a milky fragrance. Ye Jing Zhi felt like his soul had left his body: Ahhh~ I'm holding her, my sweet and soft little niece!

"Ye Jing Zhi, can you control your expression?" Ye Jing Ming couldn't bear to look at him.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Nuan Nuan's round eyes blinked at Ye Jing Zhi's handsome face.

"Uncle wants to take you to play with beanbags, okay?" Ye Jing Zhi remembered this was his favorite game as a child.

"No," Nuan Nuan shook her head resolutely.

"Why?" Ye Jing Zhi's heart shattered.

"Ye Jing Zhi, do you think Nuan Nuan likes playing these things like you do?" Ye Jing Ming spoke again, mocking him. His younger brother was very smart and clever outside, but at home, he occasionally acted foolishly.

"Uncle looks like a strange uncle~" Nuan Nuan blinked innocently.

"Nuan Nuan~ Why do you think that?" Ye Jing Zhi felt something shattering in his mind.

"If Uncle wants to play, then Nuan Nuan will play with Uncle! Alas~" She sighed with an air of maturity, making everyone laugh.

"Alright, we've almost finished eating. Let's all go out! Little Fifth, don't take Nuan Nuan out running around. If she falls, let's see if your Second Brother can handle you," Liu Ru Hua, who had been watching for a while, finally spoke.

At this moment, Ye Jing Chen stood up and walked over to look at Nuan Nuan.

"Nuan Nuan, do you want your First Uncle to hold you?" Ye Jing Chen's handsome face was full of smiles, not at all like the meticulous and stern Secretary Ye from the political arena.

"Yes~" Nuan Nuan was dazzled by his smile and, without thinking, opened her arms to him. Ye Jing Chen naturally reached out to hold her, feeling the little dumpling in his arms was so light, he dared not use much force.

Ye Jing Zhi, seeing the little milk bun in his arms actively lean towards his elder brother, felt like an abandoned puppy.

"Nuan Nuan, don't you like Uncle?" Ye Jing Zhi's aggrieved voice came from behind.

"I like you~" Ye Jing Zhi's eyes lit up, "I like First Uncle very much too."

"Nuan Nuan, don't pay attention to him. He'll be fine in a moment," Ye Jing Chen calmly distanced himself from his brother.

The group moved to the front hall, where the butler and his staff served them tea, snacks, and fruits. Ye Jing Chen sat down with Nuan Nuan in his arms, placing her on his lap and playing with her.

At this moment, Ye Jing Ming walked over holding a very beautiful doll and sat next to Nuan Nuan.

"Nuan Nuan, this is a meeting gift from Third Uncle. Do you like it?"

Ye Jing Ming wore a pair of gold-rimmed plain glasses that day, making him look refined and handsome, obscuring his sharp gaze. However, his peach blossom eyes behind the lenses were full of gentle smiles.

"Wow~ So pretty! Thank you, Third Uncle." Nuan Nuan was instantly pleased by the doll.

The doll in Ye Jing Ming's hand was a new limited edition commemorative doll from G Company, with only one hundred units released worldwide. When he received the call from home, he happened to be near the store.

As the third young master of the Ye family, obtaining such a doll was as simple as a word. He had originally intended it as a simple meeting gift, just to look good. Now, he was incredibly grateful for his decision.

"How will Nuan Nuan thank me?" Ye Jing Ming's eyes gleamed.

"Mmm~" The little dumpling propped her chin on her hand, thinking hard, then climbed onto Ye Jing Ming and gave him a kiss.

"Nuan Nuan likes Third Uncle the most~"

"Cough cough~" Ye Jing Chen beside them, thinking of the large red envelope he had prepared, felt as if he had lost.

Ye Jing Zhi's expression was even more cracked. He hadn't prepared anything at all, having only complained at the time. Could he say he casually grabbed a tank model he didn't like?

"Daddy, look, doesn't it look like Nuan Nuan?" Nuan Nuan, upon receiving the gift, immediately wanted to share it with her father.

Old Father Ye Jing Huai watched Nuan Nuan being doted on from left to right, his heart already sour. When Nuan Nuan kissed Ye Jing Ming, his heartache reached its peak.

"You still remember Daddy?" Ye Jing Huai said sourly.

"Daddy, what are you talking about?" the little scamp asked innocently, looking at her father with confusion.

Ye Jing Huai took a deep breath, stepped forward, grabbed the little dumpling, and carried her away. Ye Jing Ming, still savoring the kiss, found his arms suddenly empty. He rubbed his fingers with regret.

"If you like it, Daddy will buy it for you. One hundred of them, okay?" Ye Jing Huai felt he absolutely couldn't lose to his younger brother.

"Second Brother, this doll, G Company only has one hundred in total, and one is in Nuan Nuan's hands," Ye Jing Ming, displeased that the little dumpling had been taken away, mercilessly pointed out the flaw in his second brother's words.

"Then I'll buy their entire company. Have any objections?" Ye Jing Huai narrowed his eyes, his gaze chilling as he looked at Ye Jing Ming.

Ye Jing Ming helplessly closed his mouth. His second brother indeed had the capability. As expected, even the sharpest tongue would lose to capital.

"Daddy~ Nuan Nuan only needs one. Just like Daddy, she only needs one~" Nuan Nuan reached out her small hands, hugging her father's neck and acting spoiled, afraid he would really buy out the company.

Ye Jing Huai looked triumphantly at his brothers: See? I am Nuan Nuan's only Daddy!

Ye Jing Chen, Ye Jing Ming, and Ye Jing Zhi all clenched their fists: (╬⊙д⊙) They had truly lost!
